Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1454 My Altay 1

Xu Qin thought she would continue to be a police officer until retirement and death, but she never expected that she would die young. She even missed her wedding with Shen Yi. When she regained consciousness from the chaos, she found that she had not yet gotten rid of the identity of Xu Qin, but the time and place were different.

Xu Qin, a college student who had just arrived in the capital to attend university at the turn of the century, came from the vast northwest and was alone in shouldering the vision of his grandparents and parents' generation returning to the city.

Every grain of sand of the times that falls on a person's head is an insurmountable mountain. Xu Qin is not the oldest child among her peers. She is the second among four sisters, with a cousin older than her and a younger brother and a cousin younger than her.

My cousin was not good at studying and was too timid, so she decided to marry her childhood sweetheart from the neighborhood at an early age and is now pregnant.

As for the two younger brothers who were already in junior high school, their academic performance was really average. Xu Qin tried his best to get admitted into a reputable university in the capital. In this age when subsidies for college have been cancelled, the tuition and living expenses alone have strained the whole family.

Jiang Xinxin came here because Xu Qin was frightened by the current situation in the capital where he had to spend money as soon as he opened his eyes, and he changed because of a high fever.

But Xu Qin was exhausted. "Goddess, I am too weak. I may not be able to stay in the capital. Please help me..."

Jiang Xinxin really felt sorry for Xu Qin. "If you weren't so anxious, you would definitely be able to stay in the capital."

But Xu Qin shook her head, her cheeks moved but she couldn't even smile, she was really too tired...

"I can't do it. All this prosperity has nothing to do with me. I'm really too tired."

"Goddess, if possible, please try your best to shorten the distance between that land and the capital. I am very lucky to have seen the scenery outside with my own eyes, but there are still so many people who can never imagine what the outside world has become like in their lifetime."

This is a very easy thing to do. Jiang Xinxin just needs to wait for the country's action.

But since Xu Qin herself has made such a request, she can't really just not take any action. However, the most important thing right now is to study and make money. Xu Qin's home is too far away, almost located at the westernmost end. The scenery with the sky high and the land far away is very charming, but that is only the case for wealthy outsiders.

For people living there, poverty and isolation are the main themes.

The Northwest is very important to the country, but it is also a fact that it is difficult to develop due to its vast territory and sparse population, so the country has been working hard. Seeing what Xu Qin meant, Jiang Xinxin felt that it would be best for her to graduate from university and return to her hometown to work and strive to promote regional development.

Jiang Xinxin agreed, and after becoming Xu Qin, she plunged into libraries and bookstores.

Today's traditional paper media has not yet been greatly impacted by the Internet, and it can still grasp the last glory of traditional paper media.

When the semester was over, Xu Qin, with a much fatter wallet, bought a lot of local specialties in the capital. After thinking for a while, he also arranged a lot of teaching materials for his two younger brothers. Then he left school and ran home with satisfaction.

The journey home is very long, covering thousands of kilometers. I have to take the train first and then change buses several times before I can get to Urumqi. After arriving in Urumqi, I have to change buses several more times before I can get to Altay, and finally take a bus to the county.

In fact, the Xu family's life has been getting better. They used to be able to only herd horses and sheep in the grasslands and forests, but now they run a grocery store in the county town to make a living.

Xu Qin came back from winter vacation, carrying a lot of bags again. The children in the yard first surrounded her very attentively and walked towards her home. She didn't need to say anything along the way, she just nodded and smiled and said "yes, yes, yes", and soon her parents got the news and rushed out to greet them.

Xu Meifang is Xu Qin's mother. She is from Sichuan Province. Her parents died early. Before her grandmother died, she asked the son of a neighbor who had gone out to make a living to find her a reliable husband in another place. The family eventually fell in love with Xu Qin's father, Xu Zhiqiang, who went to Urumqi to sell sheep.

"Qinqin is back!"

The Xu family has always been able to just get by. Even though the whole family now owns a grocery store in this small county town to make a living, don't forget that this grocery store is run by Xu Qin's father Xu Zhiqiang and his eldest brother Xu Zhisheng. It is mainly to earn tuition for the three children in the family and to collect medical money for the two elderly people in poor health.

Xu Meifang reached out and took the large canvas bag on Xu Qin's back. "Oh, it's so far from the capital, why are you carrying so many things?"

The group of children were envious of the things that Xu brought back from the capital, and they wished they could squeeze into Xu's house to broaden their horizons.

Xu Meifang was not someone who was easy to talk to. She took out a bag of fruit candy and sent away the group of children who had brought the news. She then quickly poured water and brought food to Xu Qin.

Xu Qin was really hungry, so he grabbed a handful of raisins and stuffed them into his mouth. Xu Meifang felt a lump in her throat when she saw this, and she wanted to say that the child was suffering outside, but when she saw Xu Qin's rounder, rosy face, she didn't say those sentimental words.

The big backpack was right at Xu Qin's feet. After a short pause, Xu Qin started to fiddle with it:

"Mom, I wanted to bring back some winter clothes. The big malls in the capital sell very light and soft down jackets, which are made of duck or goose down. They are light, soft and warm to wear, but they take up space and are not easy to carry."

Xu Meifang said quickly: "Such nice clothes must be expensive, so don't buy them!"

"The sweaters and jackets we are wearing now are not bad!"

At the top are the pickles from Liubiju and the dim sum from Daoxiangju, especially the dim sum from Daoxiangju, which are not afraid of getting damp but are afraid of being squeezed.

"This is the pickled vegetable sold at Liubiju, which was opened during the previous dynasty. It tastes really delicious!"

"And these snacks, with both salty and sweet flavors, made with northern and southern methods!"

You can go abroad from Altay. There are many ethnic groups and customs here, and the food tastes are also complicated, but generally speaking, you can't escape the salty and sweet tastes. Xu Meifang thought the snacks at Daoxiangju were good, and when she saw that they were divided into four bags, she was relieved that her child had grown up and become sensible, but she couldn't help but turn around and shed a few tears.

The family knows their own children. Xu Qin has been carrying the hope of the whole family to go abroad because of her good academic performance since she was a child. She almost only needs to study. The family rarely tells her other things. But she remembers that bringing gifts to her family during the holidays is a big surprise in itself. Now she even prepares gifts for others. It can be seen...

Xu Qin had no idea that buying an extra snack would make Xu Meifang think so much. She continued to take things out, and underneath was a big bag of nearly a hundred electronic watches, with fancy colors, but the average price was only three or five yuan.

"This is an electronic watch. It only costs a little over three dollars. We will make a profit no matter how much we sell it in our store!"

Below that is a bag of colorful silk scarves. “They were bought from a classmate’s own factory. Occasionally a few of them are dyed incorrectly, but it doesn’t affect their use.”

A large backpack that is more than half a person's height can really hold a lot of things. Underneath it is a pile of supplementary teaching materials from the capital. "These are study materials for my younger brothers. The teaching here is still a bit superficial. I looked at the textbooks in the capital and asked a lot of teachers before choosing these."
